The University
UniSA
is the largest university in South Australia, with 36,156 students, 2396
staff, five campuses (four in Adelaide and one in Whyalla) and an annual
revenue in excess of $457 million. As the leading provider of international
education in the state we also are a significant contributor to South
Australia's economic growth and prosperity.
We are committed to educating professionals, creating and applying
knowledge, engaging our communities, maintaining cultural diversity among
our staff and students, and providing equitable access to education.
We also have been long recognised for our links with industry and in 2008
were awarded the inaugural Ashley Goldsworthy Award for sustained
collaboration between business and higher education by the Business/Higher
Education Round Table (BHERT).
Our approach to
teaching and
learning is student-centred, focused on higher education outcomes and
delivered through flexible program arrangements. We recently reviewed all of
our programs to ensure their relevance and currency.
At the same time we have increased our
research profile
and performance, as evidenced by a 50 per cent increase in research income
over the past two years. Our focus is on supporting strategic and
collaborative research in multidisciplinary teams and on the
commercialisation of intellectual property.
